Arcolectric switches get rating for motor use

Both ranges have been re-assessed for ENEC approval to 12(12)A 250V AC at 105C for 10,000 operations.

The 8300 range is available with either illuminated or non-illuminated buttons, in single or double pole with momentary or latching switch action.

There are options for various switching functions, terminal styles - including push on, solder and PCB terminals, along with options for actuators, body finish, colours and legend printing.

The 8200 range is sub-panel mount with a choice of actuator types and terminal styles and orientation, including push-on, solder and PCB terminals.

Both ranges have UL and CSA approval, as well as ENEC approval to the new higher current rating.

This higher inductive rating extends the applications for these two families of switches into motor switching applications where the initial switching current can be far higher than a resistive load.
